Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Made for crime-drama fans. If you loved Ballard or Godfather of Harlem, start here.
The mood
Dark and gritty.
The pace
2 seasons: a few weeks of evenings, episodes of about 43 minutes, about 19 hours in all.
What might put you off
  • Rated TV-14. Probably too much for younger kids.
  • It was cancelled, so the story may not get a proper ending.

In the late 1960s, a Los Angeles police sergeant with a complicated personal life starts tracking a small-time criminal and budding cult leader seeking out vulnerable women to join his “cause.” The name of that man is Charles Manson.
